Check whether 6^n cannot end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.



Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic (FTA) states that every composite number can be uniquely expressed as a product of prime numbers.

Using FTA, we can say that any number ending with 0 must have both 2 and 5 as prime factors. 

6=2×3

(6)n=(2×3)n

(6)n=(2)n×(3)n

Using FTA, we can say that 6n does not have 5 as a prime factor.

So, 6n cannot end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.
